Retesting Rank Arc
CharacterThe tenth arc of Solo Leveling is a brief chapter in which Jinwoo comes back to the human world for a fresh assessment of his hunter rank, having already collected ingredients toward the Holy Water of Life.
Overview
Tenth among the webtoon's arcs, this short entry runs through novel Chapters 75 to 79, webtoon Chapters 61 to 64, and anime Episode 16. It falls after the Demon Castle Arc and before the Hunters Guild Gate Arc. The events follow Jinwoo gathering two of the three materials required for the Holy Water of Life. Holding those, he travels back home so his rank can be officially looked at again.
Summary
Most of the action unfolds inside the Korean Hunters Association, where Jinwoo agrees to a formal reassessment of his standing. A number of well-known faces turn up around the testing. Baek Yoonho is present, as is Woo Jinchul, alongside Choi Jong-In and Park Kyung-Hye, with chairman Go Gunhee and Hwang Dongsoo also on hand. The defining result is his official certification as an S-Rank Hunter, which finally puts on record the power he had been keeping out of public sight.
Aftermath
Once his S-Rank designation is locked in, Jinwoo occupies a much more prominent spot among hunters. That elevation pushes the plot forward into the Hunters Guild Gate Arc.
